NEW YORK — The Rangers placed Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve on Saturday, meaning the star goalie will miss at least three games with a right leg injury.
So Alexandar Georgiev, who finished a shutout victory on Friday, was thrown right back in the fire against the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
Georgiev was up to the task, making 25 saves as the Rangers won, 3-2, at Madison Square Garden for their sixth win in a row and 10th of 11.
